About this book

The Secret History, was published by Alfred A. Knopf in September 1992. The narrative takes place at a prestigious liberal arts college in New England, Hampden College, which is modeled after Bennington College where Tartt studied.

The story is told from the perspective of Richard Papen, a student who looks back on the circumstances that led to the murder of their friend Edmund “Bunny” Corcoran. The events leading up to the murder unfold gradually, examining the impact of Bunny’s death on the academically and socially isolated group.
